The review considers the problem of hydrogen peroxide decomposition and hydroxyl radical
formation in the presence of iron in vivo and in vitro. Analysis of the literature data allows us …

Ferritin may serve as a nanocarrier for the selective delivery of anticancer metallodrugs.
Here, we have prepared and characterized a well-defined conjugate between the gold drug …

Ferritin is a self-assembled 24-mer protein cage which is naturally designed for iron storage.
Other than iron, the apo-ferritin cage template can accommodate various non-natural metal …

Ferritin is a universal macromolecule protein that stores iron and regulates iron oxidative
deposition and release. The physicochemical properties of ferritin can be affected by …

Single domain magnetic nanoparticles are increasingly investigated as actuators of
biological and chemical processes that respond to externally applied magnetic fields …

The ferritin cage iron-storage protein assembly has been widely used as a template for
preparing nanomaterials. This assembly has a unique pH-induced disassembly/reassembly …

Background Ferritin detoxifies excess of free Fe (II) and concentrates it in the form of
ferrihydrite (Fe 2 O 3· xH 2 O) mineral. When in need, ferritin iron is released for cellular …

Intracellular ferritin stores iron as ferrihydrite and releases it for various cellular metabolic
activities. The reductive approach, one of the possible mechanisms of iron mobilization from …

In vitro, reductive mobilization of ferritin iron using suitable electron transfer mediators has
emerged as a possible mechanism to mimic the iron release process, in vivo. Nature uses …

Iron deficiency anaemia (IDA), the most widespread nutritional disorder, is a persistent
global health issue affecting millions, especially in resource-limited geographies. Oral iron …
